Definitions
- the present invention relates to hydrometallurgical treatment of anode sludge, and more particularly to a method of separating precious metals from anode sludge obtained from copper electrolysis.
- hydrometallurgical methods for separating the precious metals from anode sludge are based on the use of nitric acid, because the solubility of silver as nitrate is high.
- hydrometallurgical processes based on the use of nitrates for treating anode sludge are not compatible with the rest of the electrolytic process, because the electrolytic refining of copper is carried out in a sulfate solution.
- the nitrate bearing sludge must be mechanically ground finer, in order to make the leaching successful.
- WO2005028686 is known a method for processing anode sludge obtained from copper electrolysis. Said method includes at least an atmospheric leaching step as well as a step of leaching into a neutral aqueous solution.
- the leaching residue obtained from the aqueous leaching can optionally be leached further into sulfuric acid, and the thus obtained residue can subsequently be leached into hydrochloric acid.
- Selenium is distilled from the obtained, precious metals bearing precipitate, and the distilling residue is returned to the process or processed outside the plant.
- the leaching residue from wet chlorination is processed further for recovering the lead and silver contained therein. After lead separation, the silver chloride from the precipitate is leached into an ammonia solution, reprecipitated as pure chloride and finally reduced into metallic silver.
- An object of the present invention is thus to provide a method so as to overcome the above problems.
- the objects of the invention are achieved by a method and an arrangement, which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims.
- the preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- the invention is based on the idea of a straightforward hydrometallurgical processing of anode sludge where no selenium calcination or slimes smelting is needed.
- An advantageous feature of the method and arrangement of the present invention is that the new method makes use of such chemicals, for example sulfuric acid, that are normally used in an electrolytic copper refinery. This enables the recirculation of the solutions to the electrolysis or to the electrolyte purification. A remarkable reduction is achieved as regards to environmental emissions, because harmful gas emissions released from selenium calcination and slimes smelting are avoided. The total process delay is also cut.
- chemicals for example sulfuric acid
- FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a first embodiment of the method of the present invention.
- the present invention provides a method of separating precious metals from anode sludge obtained from copper electrolysis.
- the method of separating precious metals from anode sludge obtained from copper electrolysis comprises
- step (c) Typically the method further comprises, prior to step (c),
- FIG 1 shows a flowchart a first embodiment of separating precious metals from anode sludge obtained from copper electrolysis.
- anode sludge 1 obtained from the electrolytic refining of copper is introduced into a first leaching step (a) 101, wherein leachable chlorides are removed from the anode sludge.
- the anode sludge is a mixture of different compounds comprising copper, selenium, precious metals and as impurities other metals and elements, such as lead.
- the anode sludge is obtained from the electrolytic refining of copper, and the composition of said raw material can vary.
- the copper content of the raw sludge can be over 30%.
- the silver and selenium content of such sludge is typically about 5 to 10%, and its impurity contents (As, Sb, Bi, Pb, Te, Ni) are typically of the order of 1 to 5%.
- Leaching in step (a) is accomplished in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution 10.
- the solution preferably contains from 50 to 150 g/L H 2 SO 4 .
- the leaching step (a) is accomplished under an elevated temperature, typically from 60 to 95°C, preferably from 80 to 90°C.
- the slurry density is typically less than 500 g/L, preferably from 200 to 300 g/L.
- Leaching in step (a) is advantageously performed under atmospheric pressure.
- Advantageously leaching in step (a) is performed under oxidizing conditions (11) for oxidizing copper present in the anode sludge, but can also be performed without any oxidizing.
- Leaching of the anode sludge in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution in step (a) is preformed to remove leachable chlorides from the anode sludge.
- the removal of leachable chlorides in step (a) reduces precipitation of silver chloride in further process steps and thus increases yield in silver recovery.
- some of the copper and arsenic comprised in the anode sludge are leached in this step.
- After filtration a chloride containing filtrate 19 and a first leaching residue 2 depleted of leachable chlorides is obtained.
- the first leaching residue 2 is then introduced into a pressure leaching step (b) 102.
- the first leaching residue 2 obtained from step (a) and entering into the pressure leaching step (b) 102 is typically diluted to a slurry density of less than 300 g/L, preferably from 100 to 200 g/L depending on the silver concentration of the sludge.
- Leaching in step (b) is accomplished in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution 12.
- the leaching solution preferably contains from 200 to 500 g/L H 2 SO 4 .
- the pressure leaching step (b) is accomplished under an elevated temperature, typically more than 140°C, preferably from 160 to 170°C. Leaching is advantageously performed under an elevated pressure from 5 to 9 bar. In this step silver and selenium are solubilized and some impurities such as tellurium, arsenic, copper and nickel can be leached away.
- An oxidizing agent 13 is used in the pressure leaching step (b) 102 to improve dissolution of silver and selenium.
- the oxidizing agent 13 is oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, preferably oxygen.
- the pressure leaching step (b) can be repeated one or more times, preferably one time, to ensure dissolution of silver and selenium.
- a first filtrate 20 comprising silver and selenium and a second leaching residue 3 mostly depleted of silver and selenium is obtained.
- the first filtrate 20 typically also comprises tellurium.
- the obtained second leaching residue 3 is then introduced into either directly to leaching step (c) 105 or preferably to an optional leaching step (d) 103 and/or optional leaching step (e) 104.
- the method of the present invention further comprises recovering silver and, optionally, selenium from the first filtrate 20.
- the filtered solution obtained from step (a) 20, and optionally also the filtered solution obtained from bismuth recovery 31, as discussed below, are introduced into a silver and selenium recovery step 112.
- the recovery of silver and selenium is accomplished by chloride precipitation and sulfur dioxide cementation.
- Silver is first precipitated by adding stoichiometric amount of hydrochloric acid.
- Metallic silver can be produced from silver chloride by known methods e.g. silver oxide precipitation followed by silver reduction. After silver precipitation selenium can be precipitated as elementary selenium by reduction with sulfur dioxide (70).
- the filtrate 21 from the recovery of silver and selenium 112 can be further treated to recover tellurium from the filtrate in a tellurium recovery 122.
- Tellurium is preferably recovered from the filtrate by cementing with copper 71 into Cu 2 Te 61.
- the remaining solution 22 can be further treated in the electrolyte purification of copper electrolysis.
- the recovery of silver and selenium can be accomplished for example by copper cementation with e.g. copper powder or copper chips or precipitation as silver selenide by using sulfur dioxide.
- the second leaching residue 3 can be subjected to an optional leaching step (d) and/or to an optional leaching step (e).
- Leaching in step (d) is accomplished in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution 14.
- the leaching solution preferably contains from 400 to 900 g/L H 2 SO 4 .
- the slurry density in step (d) is less than 400 g/L, preferably from 200 to 300 g/L.
- the leaching step (d) is accomplished under an elevated temperature, typically from 80 to 120°C, preferably from 90 to 110°C.
- Leaching in step (d) is advantageously performed under atmospheric pressure.
- Leaching step (d) mainly provides for dissolution of bismuth (113) from the second leaching residue. However, also any remaining silver, selenium and/or tellurium will be leached.
- a third filtrate 30 and a further treated second leaching residue 4 depleted of Bi is obtained.
- the further treated second leaching residue 4 is then introduced either directly into a leaching step (c) 105 or preferably into a second optional leaching step (e) 104.
- the optional leaching step (e) 104 provides for removal of remaining impurities before silver and PGMs separation in step (c) 105.
- Leaching in step (e) is performed in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to obtain a fourth filtrate 40 comprising Pb, and optionally Se and Te, and a still further treated second reaching residue 5 further depleted of lead and any remaining Se and Te.
- Leaching in step (e) is performed in the absence of an oxidant to ensure that gold and PGMs are not solubilized.
- the non-oxidative leaching in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid 15 is mainly utilized to dissolve lead. However, significant amount of any remaining selenium is also dissolved. Also remaining tellurium present in the second leaching residue 3 or in the further depleted second leaching residue 4 will be dissolved. Rest of the selenium is dissolved in oxidative hydrochloric acid leaching step (c) where main aim is to leach gold and PGMs.
- a fourth filtrate 40 and a still further treated second leaching residue 5 depleted of lead is obtained.
- the still further treated second leaching residue 5 is then introduced to a leaching step (c) 105.
- the method of the present invention additionally comprises recovering of lead from the fourth filtrate 40. Accordingly the filtered solution 40 is obtained from step (e) is introduced into a lead recovery step 114. Lead chloride 63 can be crystallized by temperature decrease.
- the filtered solution 41 is introduced into a selenium and/or tellurium recovery step 124.
- Selenium and/or tellurium can be recovered e.g. by reduction with sulfur dioxide 72 as discussed above.
- the filtered solution 42 obtained from the recovery of selenium and/or tellurium 64 in step 124 can be further subjected to a neutralization step 125.
- the second treated leaching residue 3, the further treated second leaching residue 4, or the still further treated second leaching residue 5 is leached in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution 16 to dissolve gold and platinum-group metals (PGMs) and to obtain a second filtrate 50 comprising Au and PGMs and a final leaching residue 6.
- the solution preferably contains from 150 to 250 g/L HCI.
- the slurry density in step (c) is less than 500 g/L, preferably from 200 to 400 g/L.
- Leaching step (c) is typically accomplished under an elevated temperature, typically form 70 to 90°C, preferably from 75 to 85°C. Leaching in step (c) is advantageously performed under atmospheric pressure.
- An oxidizing agent 17 is used in the leaching step (c) to improve dissolution of gold and PGMs.
- the oxidizing agent 17 is hydrogen peroxide or chlorine, preferably hydrogen peroxide.
- the method of the present invention further comprises recovering of Au and, optionally, PGMs from the second filtrate 50.
- the filtered solution 50 obtained from step (c) is introduced into the gold and PGMs recovery step 115.
- the recovery of gold is accomplished by reduction of gold e.g. by sulfur dioxide or ferrous chloride.
- Gold is advantageously reduced by treating the filtrate 50 with SO2 gas, so that gold is precipitated (65) in two steps. In the first step, pure gold is precipitated.
- the impure gold obtained from the second step can be recycled back to the leaching step (c).
- gold can be recovered by solvent extraction e.g. using dibutyl carbitol as extractant. From the extraction solution gold can be directly reduced to gold powder. Precipitation of gold by SO2 is preferred as it is more economic and simpler method for recovering gold.
- PGMs can be recovered (65).
- the recovery of platinum-group metals is accomplished by cementation of PGMs.
- PGMs can be cemented by iron to obtain a mixture containing platinum-group metals.
- the filtrate 51 obtained from the recovery of Ag and PGMs is then typically subjected to a neutralization step 125, optionally together with the filtrate 42 obtained from the recovery of selenium and/or tellurium in step 124.
- anode sludge was treated by the method of the present invention to leach and recover silver and selenium.
- Sludge containing 7.9% Ag, 7.9% Se, 1.9% Te, 23.1% Cu, 4.8 As, and 0.47% CI was first leached in a sulfuric acid solution containing 100 g H 2 SO 4 /l at a temperature of 90°C in a four liters reactor. Solids concentration in the start of leaching was 250 g/l and duration of leaching was 2 hours. After leaching residue was filtered, washed and analyzed together with the filtrate. Residue cake concentrations were 9.1% Ag, 8.8% Se, 1.8% Te, 13.2% Cu, 2.5 As, and 0.07% CI.
- Filtrate contained 36.5 g Cu/L, 6.8 g As/L, 1.2 g Cl/L, 0.6 g Te/L, and 0.1 g Se/L and recovery of chloride was about 80%. Practically no silver was found from the solution.
- Silver from the filtrate was precipitated as silver chloride by stoichiometric hydrochloric acid addition. After silver chloride precipitation selenium was precipitated at elevated temperature by sulfur dioxide and finally tellurium was cemented by using copper powder.
- Sludge after pressure leaching contained 5.3% bismuth.
- For bismuth dissolution sludge was leached in sulfuric acid solution having 800 g H 2 SO 4 /L and solids concentration 250 g/L. Temperature during leaching was kept slightly above 100°C. After two hours leaching period slurry was filtered hot to prevent problems due to crystallization of bismuth sulfate (62) during filtration. Final bismuth concentration in the filtrate at the leaching temperature was 6.4 g/L. Also some silver, selenium, tellurium and arsenic were leached at this stage and washed residue contained 0.8% Ag, 0.4% Se, 0.6% Te, 2.2% As, and 2.1% Bi. Achieved bismuth concentration in the filtrate tells that by lowering solids concentration in the start even more bismuth can be leached.
- Recoveries over the three leaching stages were 96.2% for silver, 98.1% for selenium, 89.1% for tellurium, 82.9% for arsenic, and 70.9% for bismuth based on analyses, weights and volumes of residues and filtrates.
- Residue from pressure leaching containing 1.1% Ag, 0.3% Se, 0.6% Te, 0.5% As, 2.9% Sb, 1.9% Bi, and 4.8% Pb was first leached in hydrochloric acid solution containing 100 g HCI/L at a temperature of 85°C. Aim of the experiment was to leach lead and solids concentration was 100 g/L because of the limited lead chloride solubility. Duration of leaching was three hours and no oxidant was used. After leaching slurry was filtered, cake washed and analyzed together with filtrate. Residue cake contained 1.2% Ag, 0.14% Se, 0.5% Te, 0.5% As, 2.5% Sb, 1.4% Bi, and 0.4% Pb.
- Lead concentration in the filtrate was 4.2 g/L and selenium and tellurium concentrations 0.12 and 0.14 g/L. Analyzed gold concentration was 30 mg/L. Selenium, tellurium and gold were precipitated from filtrate by sulfur dioxide before cooling of the solution and lead chloride crystallization.
